Cutting the first Sod
Tomorrow should be a big day for Glenmutchkin, because if my brother remembers we will be cutting the first sod of the layout building.
Now all good railway lines start with a ceremonial cutting of the first sod by the Duchess of something or other; typically with a nice silver spade and after which everybody retires to the local hostelry for a fine dinner…………….whilst the navvies start the really hard work. Well we probably will only be different by dropping the silver spade.
More seriously, as long as he does not get blown away in the forecast storms, my brother will be bringing his welding kit over with him, so we can make a start on the big chunky bits.
Welding kit……………on a model railway; am I going crazy? You’ll have to come back to find out!

Cannae beat some serious structural steelwork… portal-framed behemoth it is then!
Should give plenty space for a layout.
I’m kidding (mostly). Have fun 🙂

But portals are just so 1970’s; surely it should be a good lattice truss or a wrought iron frame……………. You are not so far away though Jamie!
